It was more fun than I expected. As it turned out my partner, Sergio, and brother-in-law, Travis, were the real speedsters finishing with the fastest times. However, I had a respectable showing with top speeds in the low 40s. In the first race I got into a fender-bender with my father (both of us claim its the other's fault). I fared better in the 2nd race with higher top and average speeds. After, we headed out to dinner in Boston where we continued to talk about our pseudo-Formula 1 experience.

F1 Boston
Today I went to F1 Boston with my father, partner, brother and brother-in-law. For those unfamiliar, F1 Boston has two indoor tracks where you can race in miniature formula 1 cars (more like go-carts on steroids).

pre-race Sergio and I strike a pose Below, from left to right: Tim (my brother), your's truly, Travis (brother-in-law) and Dad. No picture of Sergio in this one as he's the only reliable photographer and obliged by snapping this on his iPhone (thank you Sergio).

Sounds like fun! I'm not a huge fan of racing but if I get to wear the cool overalls I might do it! Great pics and what a fun time to spend with family!
Did you get the spray champagne afterwards...like the real thing?
That looks and sounds like a lot of fun. I've always wanted to try something like that. Did you get to hug a Jensen Button look a like?
It sounds like you all had a blast. If we had something like it up this far I'd like to try it.
